Pet care experience

Lover of 📸 🦪 🌊 🏔⛷ & all animals

I have had a dog in my life since the day I was born. While I don’t have a pet of my own at the moment, I grew up with Golden retrievers and have experience helping my family raise 3 puppies - our 4th golden is currently 8 years old :) I also have experience caring for elderly dogs with arthritis/limited mobility and incontinence. I want every dog to know they are loved and cared for and hope that this channels into a stress-free (and fun) environment with me. I treat all animals as my own! I hope you will find you can trust me to make your pet as comfortable and happy as possible! I am fully vaccinated as of 4/17/21 👩🏼‍⚕️🧬🩺 I do currently work full time from 930-5, so please be aware that midday drop-ins during the week (while house sitting) will be during my 30 minute lunch break and will include my driving time. I work in a very central office so this usually still leaves plenty of time for a bathroom break/romp in the yard. I am available for drop-ins any time on the weekends. For walks, I am available 730am-9am in the morning and 5pm-dusk M-F, and all day Saturday + Sunday. Additional rates may apply for longer required driving distance. Please feel free to message me about a drop-in or walk you need on the weekend if the time slot isn’t showing up when you go to book - it seems like there are issues with setting separate availability for week days vs weekends. I will follow whatever rules you normally enforce (or don’t!) in your house when you are gone and I will stick to your pet’s feeding schedule so that their routine remains regular. Just let me know any special needs before departing. Nothing is too much trouble :)

House Sitting • Dec 18, 2023

Meg sat our 2 lab retrievers and 2 cats for 10 days at our house. She was great, we could not have hoped for a more responsible, reliable and caring sitter which was so reassuring. We were informed with many images and videos and she got back to us with questions. Our pets looked very happy and content as she cuddled with them and took the dogs to various destinations for walks, even driving them there. She had play time with them in the yard as well and fed them all according to instructions. The dogs were groomed and clean upon our return and we were delighted to find the house in immaculate condition. We appreciate Meg and her cheerful, happy personality very much and highly recommend her as a trustworthy companion to the pets.

Meg was fantastic! She took the time to meet with us before our trip and get introduced to our dog. She treated him like he was her own and took him with her on adventures. She even took out the trash! We could not recommend Meg more as your dog sitter, we look forward to hiring her in the future.

Meg stayed at our home and cared for our 2 dogs for a week. She was reliable and our girls were well taken care of. I would definitely use her again.

Meg was a natural with my senior dog...so kind, affectionate and patient. She stayed at my house while i was away & handled everything very responsibly, she even sent pics of him to let me know he was ok. 👍🏻👍🏻 I highly recommend her, she has great energy and is gifted with animals. 🐾🐾
